On
March 12, 2015, the Court granted summary judgment to
defendants on all claims brought under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA), except the application of FOIA
exemption 7(A) to records maintained by the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATFE).
SeeDugan v. Dep't of Justice, 82
F.Supp.3d 485 (D.D.C. 2015). ATFE processed the responsive
records, made a release to plaintiff on July 10, 2015, and
has renewed its motion for summary judgment. Defs.' Mot.
for Summ. J., ECF No. 24.

On July
29, 2015, the Court advised plaintiff to respond to
ATFE's motion by September 11, 2015, or risk entry of
judgment for the defendants. See Order, ECF No. 25.
Plaintiff has not filed a response or moved for additional
time to do so. Consequently, the Court has reviewed
ATFE's summary judgment motion through the lens of
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56 and, for the reasons
explained below, finds that summary judgment is warranted.
SeeGrimes v. D.C., 794 F.3d 83, 95 (D.C.
Cir. 2015) (" 'a district court must always
determine for itself

The
following facts are not in dispute. ATFE located 757 "
potentially" responsive records. Stmt. of Material Facts
¶ 6, ECF No. 24-2. On July 15, 2015, it released to
plaintiff a total of 565 pages, 396 of which contained
redactions. Id. ATFE withheld 145 pages completely;
it determined that 34 pages " were outside the
scope" of the request and 13 pages were duplicative.
Id. ATFE withheld information under FOIA exemptions
3, 5, 6, 7(C), 7(E), and 7(F). Id. ¶ ¶ 6,
39.

In the
absence of any challenge to ATFE's evidence showing full
compliance with FOIA's disclosure requirements, the Court
will grant summary judgment to defendants on the remaining
claim and will enter judgment accordingly.[2]
